Also note the law that prohibited US government agencies from
propagandizing US citizens in the US (originally meant to control RFE/RL
et al content from being distributed in the US) was quietly removed from
the books a few years ago.

At the Pentagon Doug Feith ran it... The OSP/I.

DO remember what the RumBum said:

“And then there was the Office of Strategic Influence. You may recall
that. And ‘oh my goodness gracious isn’t that terrible, Henny Penny the
sky is going to fall.’ I went down that next day and said fine, if you
want to savage this thing fine I’ll give you the corpse. There’s the
name. You can have the name, but I’m gonna keep doing every single thing
that needs to be done and I have.”

Remember what Rumsfeld said every time your government says they’ll stop
doing anything in response to public demand, including stopping the NSA
from spying on us.

They NEVER EVER EVER STOP lying to us and spying on us.

With the media as accomplice... From 2002:

Note that the Defense Department page with that Iraq War briefing
garners a 404 error today. I checked it last year and it WAS there.
